This image shows a woman holding a small child. She wears a red robe with gold trim and a blue undergarment. The woman has a golden halo with a crown on her head, and the child wears a dark cloak. Behind them, a golden sunburst shape glows. The painting uses bright colors like red, blue, and gold, but it looks a little worn. The lines are sharp and simple, typical of woodcuts from this time.
